ESPN.com’s Brett Okamoto first reported the bout on Twitter.
UFC
Fight Night 102 takes place at Times Union Center in Albany on
a Friday night and streams in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass.

By winning his first 12 professional fights, including four in the
Octagon, Sterling established himself as one of the sport’s top
135-pound prospects. He hit a roadblock in his most recent outing,
however, dropping a split decision against Bryan
Caraway at UFC Fight Night 88 in Las Vegas on May 29. The
Serra-Longo Fight Team product has finished eight of his 12
victories inside the distance.

Once regarded as the No. 1 contender in the division after winning
seven consecutive UFC bouts, Assuncao spent nearly two years on the
sideline before returning at UFC 200, where he dropped a unanimous
verdict to ex-champ T.J.
Dillashaw. The 34-year-old Brazilian is 23-5 over the course of
a professional career that began in 2004.
